BOOM! Studios Teases Escape from New York

That old adage about a picture being worth a thousand words can be very true in the comic book industry. Yes, most of the time the pictures come with words already on them in funny books, but sometimes you can say so much with just a single shot. BOOM! Studios is no stranger to this with the visual teasers that have been sent out prior to a book's official announcement. The latest features a very familiar character: Snake Plissken.

With the words “I thought you were dead?” emblazoned on the top, the picture is pretty clearly Snake featuring his signature tattoo. BOOM! Studios is no stranger to Kurt Russell's likeness as a Big Trouble in Little China comic was recently launched. No word yet as to what this comic might or might not entail. It could be a continuation like Big Trouble or a straight adaptation. As San Diego Comic Con is in full swing, I'm sure details will be coming shortly.

James has a 2nd grade reading level and, as a result, only reads books with pictures. Horror is his 5th favorite genre right after romantic comedy and just before silent films. No one knows why he's here, but he won't leave.
